(Wien) The Austrian Government has approved
the decision to cancel the Austrian citizenship of Turks holding dual
citizenship. The decision follows a move by Austria’s Interior Ministry to
crack down on dual citizenship, which is illegal in the country, except in very
few cases. The issue of Turkish citizenship was cast into question
during Turkey’s 2017 presidential referendum, where of the 95,000 Austria-based
voters, 73 percent supported the push for constitutional change in Turkey.
